“It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better.”
“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.”
“Life isn't about me; I am about life.”
“Life isn't about you or me. If me , you , him or her died life isn't going to die out or disappear it keeps on living. Always.”
“The story world isn't a copy of life as it is. It's life as human beings imagine it could be. It is human life condensed and heightened so that the audience can gain a better understanding of how life itself works.”
“Why isn't life better designed so it warns you when terrible things are about to happen?”
